    Nice coins! At the rate you guys come upon these, you must be very happy collectors!

    I cannot find even ONE decent 1802 half dollar to buy in years of looking, and all I want is a Good!

    to be able to find lots and lots of cameo gems in the series you collect must be really nice!

    Congratulations!

    JB,

    According to interviews with mint workers, Tomaska determined the mint frequently used acid on a q-tip to refreash cameo on the die face. Many of the 69's are exactly like the ones Marty pictured. Once in awhile, you'll see one that is blazingly white. The nicest ones are among the whitest cameos of all the JFK's.

    Marty, I'm real sorry about that frost damage to your coins. Don't worry, I bet PCGS won't see it.
